Learn more about the technology ‘smart’, that in five years should … – Newspapers Criticism

This is not just a system that connects humans to the rest of the world without leaving home. The Internet – and the possibilities it offers – also provides connectivity between various electronic devices, appliances and even transport

For this movement of intelligent communication (or smart), which is under development. in the country, there is a name: Internet of Things (IOT) – English, Internet of Things. The researcher and professor at the engineering department of computer and digital systems at the University of São Paulo (USP), André Riyuti Hirakawa, was this week in Manaus, at the headquarters of Samsung Ocean, lecturing to students and professionals interested in technology. He explained the concept and what it can contribute to the field of innovation.

“The idea is to reduce to the maximum, the dependence of the systems (machines) have in relation to humans. The objective IOT leave the interaction between more autonomous machines. With less human interference, management is simple “he says.

Among the products that embrace the concept, Hirakawa explains that the best known is the cell phone. Without the user interfere, the device itself has a system that synchronizes information between the address book and email. Another example given by him are the cars that come with embedded systems that allow ‘scan’ all the features of the vehicle without a mechanic even open the hood of the car is necessary. “It’s just plug a player and ready. . You can see how the car is inside, “he sums up

Innovation

The researcher points out that the concept of IOT is not new – it has at least ten years and is in full development. “What is missing is exploring more equipment and resources and not landfilling in only the already known technology. The features that a modern mobile phone can offer, we do not use even a tenth of what is possible, “he explains.

The estimate of the teacher is that in five years or so, there are already several applications and products very more “clever” than today. “It’s about ten years we are preparing the ground. Now reached the stage of young people to seize these research and turn them into reality, “he says.

For him, the main message for those who research and works with IOT is not limited to the technology already available. “You have to ‘think smart’. Use this possibility of connectivity to communicate better is between products or between larger systems such as transport or public lighting of a city, “he advises.

The new smartphones are among the most developed when it comes to connectivity. They are at the heart of this evolution because they connect to most smart objects like smart type televisions, appliances and electronics.

Smart Refrigerators

In addition to the function basic food storage, the models come with touch screen and unique applications that allow the user, for example, make a complete nutritional program, access revenue or control the incidence of light on the food, preserving them for longer.

pioneer

When we started talking more popularly connectivity between objects, the first products jumped the eyes were the smart TVs. With the evolution of technology, it is now possible to access email, YouTube, various social networks and to access the Netflix TV control itself.

Cars with full connection

The cars now offer connectivity experience, but the expectation is that in a few years, this interaction is even stronger with promising technologies, for example, inside the vehicle cameras that recognize the driver’s face and then allow access.
